Broadcasters are now able to stream live audio content in higher quality using the same bandwidth.

Montreal, Canada (March 17, 2008) – StreamTheWorld, a pioneering Streaming Delivery Network (SDN), innovates once again by being the first to offer its customers AAC-compatible live audio streaming for Adobe Flash® players. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is slated to become the new industry standard as set forward by the influential Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The adoption of this technology puts StreamTheWorld at the forefront of the world’s elite streaming application developers and providers.

This new technology offers StreamTheWorld customers a number of significant advantages. Using the same bandwidth, broadcasters are now able to stream live audio content in higher quality. AAC is a leap forward in providin listeners with near-CD quality sound. At last, users will be able to experience broadcasts as they were meant to be: great content that sounds even greater!

Through this significant enhancement of the user experience, StreamTheWorld customers are better poised to capture and retain listener loyalty, which in turn translates into longer listening times and increased online ad revenue.
